Subject: [Bioc-devel] Cannot update the release in svn
Hi,

I cleaned my gitHub repository to have now the repository coMET in my gitHub as
the fork of coMET from bioconductor.

I followed the directive from
http://bioconductor.org/developers/how-to/git-mirrors/

as I need to correct bug in the current release

but when I try to run

 1.  git svn rebase to get the latest SVN changes.

I have an error message

git svn rebase

Authentication realm: <https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org:443> The bioconductor
Subversion Repository

Password for 'tiphaine':

Can't create session: Unable to connect to a repository at URL
'https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/branches/RELEASE_3_3/madman/Rpacks/coMET':
Unexpected server error 500 'Internal Server Error' on
'/bioconductor/branches/RELEASE_3_3/madman/Rpacks/coMET' at
/usr/share/perl5/Git/SVN.pm line 712.

So I cannot push my update in SVN.

Can you tell me if the bug is still on my side or on the side of svn of
bioconductor? and what I need to do to push my update.

"git svn" relies on svn's authentication mechanisms. So svn has to already know about your credentials.

Also, note that your svn username is 't.martin', not 'tiphaine' (which I guess is the username that you are logged into your computer as).

So you need to let svn know about your credentials, so do something like this:

svn log --limit 1 --username t.martin https://hedgehog.fhcrc.org/bioconductor/branches/RELEASE_3_3/madman/Rpacks/coMET

This will prompt for your svn password and might also ask you if it is ok to store your credentials on your computer in cleartext. You should answer 'y' to the questions it asks you.

After doing this you should be able to successfully run the 'git svn rebase' command.

Dan
